About
HIDVL Twentieth Anniversary Series
As we approach the twentieth anniversary of the Hemispheric Digital Video Library (HIDVL), the largest digital video archive devoted to performance practices in the Americas, Hemi launches a series of conversations about preserving performance, archival practices, and research scholarship. We reflect on the collection’s conception, its reach, its politics, and its meanings, as well as its importance to scholars whose research plumbs or builds the collection. Join us for a conversation between present and past HIDVL Collections Specialists, Dr. Daniel Howell (New York University) and Ph.D. candidate Jehan Roberson (Cornell University), as they meditate on the relationship between their work as scholars and their work as archivists.
